an interview with the Captain we learn that
he will tear down the old saw mill, erect
new and substantial bulk head, and at once

accommodation for ali the industries that
desire to obtain room and power. This mill
will be so constructed that it can be added to

power can be obtained, and the work is to be

The Lime Business of Maine.

Hon. E. X. OBrien of Thomaston, who is
largely engaged in the manufacture of lime,
at a recent interview in Augusta with Com
missioner Matthews, made the following
statements;
In Rockland, Rockport and Thomaston
where the lime business of Maine is carried
on. about 1000, 600 barrels will be manu-
featured this year, larger production than
that of any previous year. An average of ID
men to kin are employed in msnufactur
ing, trimming the lime, transporting rocks,
ouarrying, and removing the dirt from the
ouarries As there are some So kilns in
Knox county, about 1000 men and $50
horses are employed. The manufacture of
barrels is largely carried on outside the
limits of the villages, giving employment to
a large number Of coopers The price paid
for barrels is from Is to 20 cents each.
About FIVE cords of wood are consumed in
the manufacture of 100 barrels of lime, con-
.eouently in the manufacture Of the amount
produced, 81, 900 cords of wood are required.
at the average cost of IS. 80 cord. For
the transportation of the lime product to
markets, every kiln requires from three to
four vessels of capacity of from 500 to 2,
600 barrels. The wages paid to laborers are
much higher than the average, kilnmen being
paid 81 90 day. quarrymen an average of
81 %, and teamsters $500.
The firm of Burgess, O'Brien & Co , in
Thomaston, has manufactured 90, 900 barrels
of lime since Feb. 18th.
The above facts show the importance of
this local industry, not only to Knox county
but to the State.

THE LEGISLATIVE
Appropriations to the Maine State
Agricultural Society and East
ern Maine Fair.
views OF George e. Bracket, Esq, one of
the Trustees of the Former Society.

| Quite little breeze is being stirred up in
agricultural circles in regard to objections
reported as having been made against the
State paying the stipend due the Maine Fairs,
hecause of the failure of the Eastern Fair to
comply with the provisions of the act of the
last legislature granting the aid which speci.
neatly says the societies shall see that the
pFohibitory law is duly enforced on their
grounds during its annual exhibitions.
Our reporter interviewed Mr.. Geo. E.
Bracket Of Belfast, one of the trustees of the
old Maine State Society, who was 10 the city
last night at the grange fair and on his way
from short call at Read6eld fair to visit
Cumberland Fair at Gorham today.
Does the objection raised against the
Eastern Fair, as reported in the papers, have
any bearing on the Maine State Fair at Lew
iston, Mr. Brackett?"
81 cannot see that it will affect US in the
least. There can be no reason why the Gov
ernor and Council may not order the warrant
drawn for the amount of stipend due the
Maine State Society as it has always strictly
conformed in the law in regard to keeping
rumselling entirely clear from its park and
grounds. The trustees have standing vote
on their books specifically instructing their
chief of police to enforce the prohibitory law
to the letter, and visitors to our exhibitions
of years past will bear witness to the fact tina,
the law has been enforced, for liquor selling
has been unknown and intoxicated persons q
rarity"
'How about the Bangor fair?"
'Oi that l cannot say so far as the exhibi-
ton this year is concerned, thoagh am in
clined to think the condition of things was
quite respectable, but last year it was noto-
rious that rum selling was carried on openly
on their park throughout the fair"
"Does the late act in relation to requiring
the law TO be enforced have any bearing on
the former exhibitions of the Eastern fair?'
Certainly not, and it is my impression II
will not prevent them obtaining their stipend
this year, but discussion of the subject will
produce good results as it will prove that the
people mean business as regards rumselliDg
in Maine, and that even big society like
ours or the Eastern is amenable to the
laws. Whatever may be the result as re-
CARDS the Bangor society there can hardly be
reason for Withholding the stipend from the
Maine State p"
What is the financial standing of the
Maine State Society"
Good and improving The net earnings
of the late Fair at Lewiston will be about
seven thousand dollars towards paying the
debt After we come into possession of the
grand stand on the park, and have few
years of pleasant weather during fair week
similar to this year, the stock of the old
Maine State society will be above par. The
fact is the people believe and are behind il
and it must be successful"

THE CLOSING DAY
Brings Larger Crowds to the Grange

All Delighted with the Exhibition and Pro

The second day of the Capital Grang,
brought larger crowds than ever TO Grants
Hall. Every one was pleased with the ex
hibit and full of praise for the efforts of the
Changers and their wives. whose hard aRi
persistent work accomplished such com
mendable result. Everything was managed
well and showed that those in charge of af
fairs understood how to carry them on sue
cessfully.

came out of the hail. ''that's the first fair ]
ever attended where it didn't cost me more
to get out than to get in" and his remark

but during the last season they made 1900
pounds.
Prominent among the numerous good
things of the art exhibit are the beautiful
samples of penmanship by Mr.. A. T. Rey-
nolds of the Dirigo Business College. One
of these, pen sketch of marine view, is a
remarkably beautiful thing, and shows Mr..

forbids. We can only say that the list OF
awards which will appear in our next issue,

evening before, and which was most credita-
